Priesthood Ordination - St. Philip the Apostle, Clifton

Priesthood Ordination is the sacramental ceremony in which a man becomes a priest and is enabled to minister in Christ’s name and that of the Church. Ten men will be ordained this year. The essential rite of the Sacrament of Holy Orders consists in the Bishop’s imposition of hands on the head of the ordinand and in the Bishop’s specific consecratory prayer asking God for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and His gifts.
